Installation
Location
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use
only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to
support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded
McCall reach-in can weigh as much as 1500 pounds. Reinforce
the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the
most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation
inside and out.
Inside cabinet: Do not pack refrigerator so full that air cannot
circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of
the unit. It is important to allow for proper air flow from the
top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this air flow
can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature
or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The rear
of the unit has molded ribs and the shelves have a rear turn
up on them to prevent this. However, bags and other items
can still be located to the far rear of the cabinet. There is also
a return air diffuser along the top front of the cabinet interior,
this also requires proper air circulation. Prevent obstruction by
locating large boxes and tall stacks of product to the bottom of
the cabinet.
Outside cabinet: Be sure that the unit has access to ample air.
Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than
2” from any wall with at least 12” of clear space above the
unit. Avoid exposing glass door units to direct sunlight. Direct
sunlight through the glass doors will make the ABS liner
fade and become brittle and will greatly reduce refrigeration
efficiency.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the
doors will line up with the frames properly, the cabinet will not
be subject to undue strain and the contents of the cabinet will
not move around on the shelves. Use a level to make sure the
unit is level from front to back and side to side. Units supplied
with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary
adjustments. If the unit is supplied with casters, no adjustments
are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located is
level.
Stabilizing
Some models are supplied on casters for your convenience,
ease of cleaning underneath and for mobility. It is very
important, however, that the cabinet be installed in a stable
condition with the front wheels locked while in use.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for
any reason, allow at least 24 hours before start-up so as to allow
compressor oil to flow back to the sump. Failure to meet this
requirement can cause compressor failure and unit damage.
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit
warranties due to improper installation procedures.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your
local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is
connected to the proper power source. A protected circuit of the
correct voltage and amperage must be run for connection of the
line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.
The thermostat must be turned to OFF and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service, maintenance
functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
